King County Prosecuting Attorney won't file charges on Josh Brown

Following the acquisition of a series of online letters, personal journal entries and counseling exercises in which New York Giants kicker Josh Brown allegedly admitted to mentally and physically abusing his ex-wife Molly, the King County (Wash.) Sheriff Department recommended two charges of fourth-degree domestic violence to the prosecuting attorney.

Despite those documents and a history of domestic violence allegations, including a 2015 arrest in which Brown admitted to grabbing Molly’s wrist, the King County Prosecuting Attorney has declined to press recommended charges against Brown.

Although the prosecuting attorney has declined to press charges on Brown, which is the second such instance after fourth-degree domestic violence charges stemming from the 2015 incident were also shelved, both the NFL and New York Giants will reopen their investigations into Brown and the allegations against him.

Given that it was an active and ongoing investigation by the King County Sheriff Department, the recently released documents were unavailable to both the team and the league until Wednesday night despite multiple requests by each to procure them.
